I don’t think Mia’s an amazing parent by any means and she certainly spends a lot more time out than any other parent, but using the word neglect and saying she shouldn’t be with Mia is going way too far. I’ve worked in Child Protection and kids who are actually neglected don’t have meals or food, they have no bedding on their beds, they might have a filthy mattress if they’re lucky. They get no attention at all from their parent/s and never get taken anywhere. They go to school late or not at all, not in proper uniform and often with no food. They might get left home alone from a very young age.
I’m also a single parent and Mia is so far from how I am as a parent, I put him first and my life takes a back seat, I studied my Masters degree while looking after him and working, and I own a house that we’ve been in for 7 years. But let’s be reasonable in the accusations that are being made, and put it in to perspective. Is she the most amazing mum, no, is she neglecting Marliya by living with family and going out a lot whilst Marliya is in the care of another adult, also no.
